Example: Pep Zone• Standard Normal Probability Distribution
Pep Zone sells auto parts and supplies
including a popular multi-grade motor
oil. When the stock of this oil drops to
20 gallons, a replenishment order is
placed.

The store manager is concerned that The store manager is concerned that sales are being lost due to stockouts while sales are being lost due to stockouts while waiting for an order. It has been determined waiting for an order. It has been determined that demand during replenishment lead time is that demand during replenishment lead time is normally distributed with a mean of 15 gallons normally distributed with a mean of 15 gallons and a standard deviation of 6 gallons. and a standard deviation of 6 gallons.
The manager would like to know the The manager would like to know the probability of a stockout, probability of a stockout, PP((xx > 20). > 20).

Now we need to find the area under the curve to the left of z
= .83. This will give us the probability that x ≤ 20 gallons.

Exercise 18, p. 261
The average time a subscriber reads the Wall Street Journal is 49 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is 16 minutes and that reading times are normally distributed.
a) What is the probability a subscriber will spend at least one hour reading the Journal?
b) What is the probability a reader will spend no more than 30 minutes reading the Journal?
c) For the 10 percent who spend the most time reading the Journal, how much time do they spend?

a) Convert x to the standard normal distribution:
Thus one who read 560 minutes would be .69 from the mean. Now find P(z ≤ .6875). P(z ≤ .69)= .7549.Thus P(x > 60 minutes) = 1 - .7549 = .2541.
